I needed a new indoor activity since the sun is gone and no more biking and swimming :( I live in a cold/rainy climate. I'm a busy mom, I don't have the time and don't want to spend money on an overcrowded gym. This item is a great at-home workout product. It even comes with a DVD to show you a workout (I have yet to watch it).
I love this weighted hula hoop. It's a bit hard at first to get used to the weight, but you'll get it down within a few days. My eve routine is hula hooping while watching t.v., about a total of 1/2 of straight movement.... I am seeing a change in my body shape within a week. Pants are feeling loose. Love it.....

This is the third fitness I purchased and after purchasing the Gold's Gym fitness hoop I finally hit the jackpot. Its not to heavy therefore it stays in place and its not painful like the indented ones. This fitness hoop exceeded my expectations.

This hula hoop was just what I was looking for. I'm an athlete and active mom that wanted to get my abdominals back to pre-baby size. The 2.5lb weight is just enough and the exercise truly does work if you can keep up with it a few times a week. I had no issue with the hula hoop coming apart. Once you lock it in properly you should not have an issue. It is also easy to unlock and take apart if you want to conveniently store it again.

This is awesome and it brings back childhood memories. At first it might take you a couple of try's but once you get going you get quite the work out. This is a great buy at 20 bucks I'm so glad I got it last one on the shelf Yay !!!!

This is a super fun way to get exercise, but it's kinda heavy. I didn't know this but there are 1.5 pound hoops that might be better for beginners.
I like that you can take this hoop apart for easier storage. The hooping video that came with it was kind of a joke though. It doesn't take a trainer to know how to use a hula hoop. Lol.
Overall, I'm glad I bought it.

When I first tried it out, I thought it was too heavy, but after using it everyday for a week it got easier. Plus the heavier the hoop is, the better the work out.

I was able to easily put together the hoop and was hula hooping within minutes. I'm 5'1" 105 lbs and the hoop was staying up fine on me. I did feel a little bruising the next day after only using it a few minutes the first day. But after using it for a few more days the bruises seem to have subsided. I can't tell yet if the hoop is actually giving me a good workout or doing anything for my love handles...only time and good use will tell. But it's hooping around me with no issues just like it should be and that's all I'm asking for right now.

Easy to assemble. Have been using it for two weeks now at 30 minutes a day and it seems to really serve its purpose (losing belly fat). Easy to use as well, it's just like hula hooping during my childhood days.

No problems putting it together. Haven't had any problems with it falling apart or anything either. Works great. No complaints and good price. Dvd workout was a nice little surprise. Didn't realize it came with a dvd.

The hoop is a good tool for fitness. Its a bit heavy if you are lookingfor a normal hoop. But comfortable and easy to pickup even if you never did hula hoop before.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this weighted hula hoop. I received it much sooner than anticipated and put it together right away when it arrived. I've had lots of fun & good exercise with this hoop!

Very happy with this product. It's great quality & soft with a spongy-like material. If you can't handle the weight banging against your stomach then it's not the product for you. I never got bruised from this hoop like others had mentioned, only just a little red. You really feel your abs working though and I plan to use it more often. Unbelievable for your obliques!! Overall great product. Thanks!!
Oh and ps- It came so much faster than I had even expected in the mail! Yess!

Exactly what I wanted. Now if I could just learn to use it. It's not the hoop's fault. Just the fact that I am a klutz but will keep trying. There must be some benefit in bending over to pick it up multiple times.

I had some reservations about this product since some reviews said it was difficult to assemble. I found it easy to put together once I figured out to give the pieces a little extra nudge.
The product remains assembled beautifully.
Inexperienced users may experience some soreness around their torsos after the first few uses, but that will happen with any hoop. The cushioning on this hoop actually keeps that to a minimum.
Finally, this hoops holds up against repeated drops very well.
All in all I have been very impressed.

I am trying to slim down my mid section and this weighted hula hoop seems to be doing the job.
I have used it for a week and am starting to see some shrinkage in my midsection. I started out with 20 minutes once a day and have progressed to 30 minutes. At first use my skin did bruise. I started wearing a sweatshirt during exercise that eliminated bruising. You can actually work up a sweat.
This is definitely a good exercise in firming up your abdomen.
